Description

It was a golden spring day when I reached the castle of Monteleone. I had the privilege to spend an entire week with Geneva, my best friend since the first grade, before his wedding was celebrated there.
The sun filtered between the branches of the trees, caressing the ancient walls of the fortress with a light that seemed suspended over time when I heard some steps close, it was Mario, caretaker and all-round manor.
Geneva had told me a lot about him because not only did his family start working in the castle, but because Mario knew every stone and every flower every corner and every story.
The castle stands with elegance at the top of the village of Monteleone: but its properties in various buildings are scattered over by oil scrub in the surroundings, 300 hectares among tidy vineyards, fragrant fields of wild herbs, quiet forests and lawns dotted with flowers
Marco offers to accompany me and tell me the manor, as he love to call it and our visit begins with the small church. It leads me inside and proudly shows me some of the beautiful rooms, all well maintained, those that, as Marco tells me, have a history in history - the large kitchen, the astronomy room, the library, the armored room, the bedrooms outside in the splendid Italian garden - the bell tower and the watchtower. Time goes by quickly and the sun is already setting.
The journey today has been long and tiring and I ask for the permission to withdraw me a bit to rest. I climb the ancient stairs of the castle almost on tiptoe, guided by an inviting silence towards the bedroom that was assigned to me. I open a door open and I am in a room with the smell of Cyrmolo. The burning fireplace spreads a warmth that embraces. I sit on a canopy bed, covered in light veils and embroidered linen sheets. The smell of lavender from the sheets surrounds me, I close my eyes, perhaps just for a moment and I'm already sleeping.
But that moment is dreamed. In the dream I'm here, but everything was different. The castle is alive with dames and knights and flashlights along the corridors. The manor is a kingdom, and I'm the promised wife of the young prince of Monteleone. The skillful hands of two young girls help me in the clothes and wearing a wonderful and precious clothes, gold insert and silk threads, which sparkle with every breath. I walk among the vineyards as if they were mine forever, in the village I greet the people who bowed with sweetness, as if they knew me for a life.
The laughs within the walls of the house not far away, the bonfires lit in the woods, the dances among the ruins that appear, for enchanting, rebuilt and living. And the prince? He looks at me as if I were the key to his happiness, and I feel suspended between the dream and reality, between the present and once lost.
Then, as often happens in dreams, time began to slide away. I wake up slowly, still surrounded by the warmth of the fireplace. But the most incredible thing is to find out that I'm really wearing the dream dress: gold and silk, stitched as from ancient hands. I stand up floor, floor, I see myself in the glass of a veiled window. There was no more prince, but something of him had remained in my eye.
The heart is still full of that other time, something of the dream has remained with me, as a secret whispered among the stones of the castle.
In these days everything seems incredible, I feel the mild echo of a love that may have been, or perhaps it will be but this castle is and will remain my place of heart.
